MikeT/Anyone>Delete DTC's
Not sure if right forum ?
Spent time here with old ride. Got s/c from MikeT. Seems I recall at that time unhooking batts. would delete any DTC's that had been set. Do appreciate if anyone knows & can clarify....
Q...Would unhooking batts. on a 6 L PSD erase any set DTC's. TIA
btw...I dont have a scanner to verify.

Hi Old Timer,
Good to "see" you again!
Yes, disconnecting the batter will clear "KAM" (keep-alive memory), and thus clear out any diagnostic codes except for a P1000 - which simply means that power to the PCM has been interrupted, as happens when you disconnect a bater, and that one will go away on it's own in a little while.
Now of course, keep in mind that if you are having a problem, you WANT to keep that code and read it so that the underlying problem can be diagnosed, of course.
Good luck!
